I like watermills and I would like to be able to find

Several, if not many, places in Belgium are called "hoûte s'i ploût"
or similar names.<br>
That's walloon for "listen if it rains".<br>
It's related to the need for water of an old watermill.<br>
There are various explanations: passerby's mockery, father asking
son ...<br>
<a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/259975902#map=18/50.52796/5.52938">One
of the best known place is here</a>.<br>
It looks like the mill <b>should</b> be on the map, <a
href="http://geoportail.wallonie.be/WalOnMap/#BBOX=232281.39249898028,232403.762535387,135832.61752373684,135892.01660086832">but
it might be just ruins</a>. (turn on aerial in upper right tab).<br>
Anyway, my idea is that you could <a
href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houte-Si-Plou">look at this
article</a> (<a
href="http://translate.google.be/translate?sl=fr&tl=de&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffr.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHoute-Si-Plou">oder
das</a>), <a
href="https://www.google.be/search?&tbm=isch&q=houte+si+plout">look
at these pictures</a>, <a href="http://houtesiplou.be/">open the
sites</a>, follow the links like veins or is it streams, hopping
down to France or elsewhere, and most of all search for all the
spellings.<br>
I'm not sure if you would find such nice ones as you've shown, but
if your passion is mills, you might like to make that way
discoveries that are not in the catalogs. Otherwise, you will have
a story.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
Cheers
